Description of Related Arts

With the advent of high technology, the electronic industry hasexperienced very significant growth that that wireless controllers arecommonly utilized in different electronic controlling devices. Eventhough such wireless controllers bring us convenience, thousands ofconventional wireless controllers will pollute our environment and wasteour resources.

Firstly, the wireless controller must be powered by batteries as itspower source. Therefore, the user must frequently replace the oldbatteries with new batteries after a period of time usage. The operatingcost for the wireless controller will be significantly increased by thebatteries. Since most of the batteries are disposable, the old batterieswill pollute our environment. Accordingly, land pollution is aggravatedbecause of the wasted electronic components, such that many countriesissue strict environmental regulations for those electronic wastes.

Accordingly, most indoor illuminating devices generally comprise a wallcontrolling switch electrically connected to an illuminator via anelectrical wire for controlling the illuminator in an on-and-off manner.In particular, the wiring configuration must be pre-designed in a floorplan of the building to illustrate the exact location of the controllingswitch to run the electrical wire from the illuminator to thecontrolling switch. In addition, a switch box, PVC wire sleeve, andelectric wires must be embedded into the wall by pre-forming a wirerunning groove in the wall. The installation not only takes times butalso wastes lots of different materials. More importantly, it isimpossible to re-locate the controlling switch. Otherwise, the wall mustbe damaged to form another wire running groove for the new electricalwire. Safety concerns are other issues that the switch box and the PVCwire sleeve must provide moisture prevention and explosion protection.

In order to solve the above problems, the indoor illuminating deviceincorporates with a wireless switch wirelessly connected to theilluminator for controlling the illuminator in an on-and-off manner.However, the existing wireless switch has several drawbacks. (1) Theusers are not used to recharge the wireless switch via an external poweroutlet, such as a wall outlet, for operating the illuminator. (2) It isa hassle to find the wireless switch as it is considered as a portabledevice to be stored at any location of the building. (3) When thewireless switch is designed to be affixed on the wall structure, thewireless switch must be powered by batteries. Therefore, the user mustreplace the batteries frequently after a period of time. In particular,the user must detach the wireless switch from the wall and disassemblethe outer casing of the wireless switch for cleaning and replacing thebatteries. Otherwise, the battery acid will leak out of the battery topollute the environment and to shorten the service life span of thebattery. As result, the wireless switch cannot be widely used due to theabove drawbacks.

The magnet assembly 144 is arranged at one side of thecoil assembly facing the centerline of the magnetic coil 147, such thatthe coil core 142 perpendicularly faces toward the magnet assembly 144.It is worth mentioning that the coil core 142 can faces toward themagnet assembly 144 at any angle in order to magnetically induce withthe coil core 142 and to change the line of the magnetic force of thecoil core 142 for generating the induced current.

According to the preferred embodiment, the micro generator 14 furthercomprises two sliding panels 143 symmetrically and spacedly extendedfrom the supporting panel 13 to form a sliding cavity between thesliding panels 143, wherein each of the sliding panels 143 has a slidinggroove formed thereat, such that the sliding grooves of the slidingpanels 143 face toward each other. Two sides of the magnet assembly 144are engaged with the sliding grooves of the sliding panels 143 in aslidably movable manner, such that the magnet assembly 144 is movablysupported at the sliding cavity. Accordingly, the sliding displacementof the magnet assembly 144 is restricted by the length of the slidinggroove, so as to limit the up-and-down sliding movement of the magnetassembly 144. In other words, the magnet assembly 144 is retained by thesliding panels 143 to ensure the coil core 142 to perpendicularly facetoward the magnet assembly 144.

Accordingly, the magnet assembly 144 further comprises an outersupportive frame 1441 having an interior cavity 1444, wherein thepermanent magnet 1443 and the magnet conductive panels 1442 aresupported within the interior cavity 1444 of the outer supportive frame1441. Therefore, the permanent magnet 1443 can be securely retainedbetween the two magnet conductive panels 1442 to prevent any unwantedmovement between the permanent magnet 1443 and each of the magnetconductive panels 1442. The outer supportive frame 1441 further has twosliding members 1445 extended from two sides thereof to slidably engagewith the sliding grooves of the sliding panels 143 respectively, suchthat the magnet assembly 144 can be slid at the sliding grooves of thesliding panels 143 in an up-and-down movable manner.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 5, and 6, the supporting panel 13 further has aprotruded platform 131, wherein a mid-portion of the switch panel 12 ispivotally coupled at the protruded platform 131 of the supporting panel13, so as to pivotally couple the switch panel 12 on the supportingpanel 13. The switch panel 12 has a panel cavity formed at a bottom sidethereof, wherein a pivot arm 121 is extended from the panel cavity ofthe switch panel 12 at the mid-portion thereof to pivotally couple withthe protruded platform 131, such that the switch panel 12 forms a seesawpanel on the supporting panel 13. A first end (right end) of the switchpanel 12 is coupled to the magnet assembly 144, wherein when an opposedsecond end of the switch panel 12 is actuated, the first end thereof ispivotally moved to drive the magnet assembly 144 to reciprocatingly moveup-and-down. Therefore, the permanent magnet 1443 and the magnetconductive panels 1442 are moved at the same time, such that the magnetconductive panels 1442 are aligned with the coil core 142 in analternating manner, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8. In other words, one ofthe magnet conductive panels 1442 will align with the coil core 142 whenthe magnet assembly 144 is moved upward while another magnet conductivepanel 1442 will align with the coil core 142 when the magnet assembly144 is moved downward. Since the magnet conductive panels 1442 have twoopposite poles respectively, i.e. one magnet conductive panel 1442 has aN pole and another one has a S pole, the movement of the magnet assembly144 will magnetically induce with the coil core 142 to change the lineof the magnetic force of the coil core 142 so as to generate the inducedcurrent by the magnetic coil 147. The current generated by the magneticcoil 147 will guide to flow to the control panel 15 as a power supplythereof in order to ensure the control panel 15 to be powered totransmit the wireless control signal for controlling the electronicdevice. It is worth mentioning that the magnet assembly 144 is coupledat the first end of the switch panel 12 at a position that the magnetassembly 144 is supported within the panel cavity of the switch panel12. In particular, the magnet assembly 144 is coupled at the inner wallof the panel cavity of the switch panel 12 to securely retain the magnetassembly 144 in position. Accordingly, the switch panel 12 further hastwo engaging arms 123 extended from two sides thereof and two engagingclips 124 integrally formed at two free ends of the engaging arms 123respectively. The magnet assembly 144 is supported within the panelcavity of the switch panel 12 at a position between the two engagingarms 123, wherein the engaging clips 124 are detachably engaged with theouter supportive frame 1441, so as to prevent the magnet assembly 144being detached from the switch panel 12 due to the movement of themagnet assembly 144.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the coil assembly further comprises aresilient element 141, wherein one end of the resilient element 141 isaffixed to the supporting panel 13 while another opposed end of theresilient element 141 is coupled to a second side of the coil core 142,such that the opposed first side of the coil core 142 faces toward themagnet assembly 144. Accordingly, the resilient element 141 having aU-shape is supported in a suspending manner, wherein a free end portionof the resilient element 141 is coupled with the second side of the coilcore 142, such that the first side of the coil core 142 is suspendedlysupported toward the magnet assembly 144. As shown in FIG. 7, when themagnet assembly 144 is moved downwardly, a magnetic attracting forcebetween the magnet assembly 144 and the coil core 142 will generate topull the coil core 142 downward so as to bend the resilient element 141downward for restoring a resilient force thereof. When the magnetassembly 144 is kept moving downwardly, the resilient force of theresilient element 141 will transform as a reaction force to the coilcore 142. When the reaction force of the resilient element 141 isgreater than the magnetic attracting force, the resilient element 141will rapidly bend upwardly to its original form to rapidly move the coilcore 142 upward, so as to rapidly change the line of the magnetic forceof the coil core 142. In other words, the magnetic coil 147 willgenerate a large amount of the induced current. Likewise, as shown inFIG. 8, when the magnet assembly 144 is moved upwardly, the magneticattracting force between the magnet assembly 144 and the coil core 142will generate to pull the coil core 142 upward so as to bend theresilient element 141 upward for restoring the resilient force thereof.When the magnet assembly 144 is kept moving upwardly, the resilientforce of the resilient element 141 will transform as the reaction forceto the coil core 142. When the reaction force of the resilient element141 is greater than the magnetic attracting force, the resilient element141 will rapidly bend downwardly to its original form to rapidly movethe coil core 142 downward, so as to rapidly change the line of themagnetic force of the coil core 142. In other words, the magnetic coil147 will generate a large amount of the induced current.

Accordingly, the magnet conductive panels 1442 are directly contactedwith the coil core 142, wherein the magnet conductive panels 1442 aremagnetically attracted to the coil core 142 when the magnet conductivepanels 1442 are moved up and down. In other words, through the magneticattraction, the coil core 142 is driven to move up and downcorresponding to the movement of the magnet conductive panels 1442.Therefore, the resilient element 141 is bent correspondingly. Once thereaction force of the resilient element 141 is greater than the magneticattracting force, the reaction force of the resilient element 141 willbreak the magnetic attraction between the magnet conductive panels 1442and the coil core 142. Accordingly, the U-shaped resilient element 142defines a mid-portion and forms a resilient platform to couple with thecoil core 142, and two resilient arms extended from the mid-portion,such that when the resilient arms are bent, the mid-portion of theresilient element 142 can be rapidly rebounded to move the coil core 142back to its original position, so as to prevent a distortion of the coilcore 142.

As shown in FIGS. 2 and 10, the coil core 142, having a W-shape,comprises a mid core arm 1421 and two side core arms 1422, wherein themid core arm 1421 is spacedly located between the two side core arms1422. The coil wire is wound around the mid core arm 1421 to form themagnetic coil 147 and to define a protrusion portion of the coil core142 at a free end of the mid core arm 1421. The coil core 142 isoverlapped on the resilient element 141 at a position that themid-portion of the resilient element 142 is affixed to a portion of thecoil core 142 above the side core arms 1422. It is appreciated that theshape of the resilient element 141 can be modified as long as theresilient element will provide enough resilient force to the coil core142 so as to ensure the coil core 142 to return back to its position inresponse to the movement of the magnet assembly 144. According to thepreferred embodiment, the coil core 142 is overlapped on and affixed tothe resilient element 141 via a rivet 24. It is appreciated that otherfasteners can be used for affixing the coil core 142 to the resilientelement 141. Accordingly, the resilient arms 1411 of the resilientelement 141 are longer than the side core arms of the coil core 142,wherein the resilient arms 1411 of the resilient element 141 are affixedto two retention posts 145 integrally protruded from the supportingpanel 13, such that the mid core arm 1421 of the coil core 142 isperpendicular to the magnet assembly 144. Accordingly, the magnetic coil147 has at least 300 turns of coil wire. The induced voltage generatedis proportional to the number of turns which the flux penetrates.Accordingly, every actuation of the switch panel 12 will cause the microgenerator 14 to generate voltage. In each actuation of the switch panel12, the generation time of the micro generator 14 is about 1.5 ms, thevoltage generated by the micro generator 14 is about 9V-15V, and thecurrent generated by the micro generator 14 is about 30 mA. It is worthmentioning that the number of turns of the magnetic coil 147, the sizeof the magnetic coil 147, and the strength of the magnetic field will bethe factors to generate different voltage and current output.

FIG. 11 illustrates an alternative mode of the magnet assembly whichcomprises a permanent magnet 212 and two magnet conductive panels 211 tosandwich the permanent magnet 212 therebetween, wherein the length ofthe permanent magnet 212 is shorter than the length of each of themagnet conductive panels 211, such that when the magnet conductivepanels 211 are overlapped coupled at two sides of the permanent magnet212 respectively, two extension portions of the magnet conductive panels211 are extended out of the permanent magnet 212 to define a magneticcavity between the extension portions. One side portion (right sideportion) of the coil core 222 as the protrusion portion thereof isdisposed within the magnetic cavity, wherein when the magnetic assemblyis moved up-and-down, the protrusion portion of the coil core 222 can bemoved within the magnetic cavity to contact with inner sides of theextension portions of the magnet conductive panels 211 in an alternatingmanner, so as to magnetize with the magnet conductive panels 211.

According to the preferred embodiment, during the movement of the magnetassembly 144 with respect to the coil assembly, the magnet conductivepanels 1442 are magnetically attracted to the coil core 142 when thecoil core 142 is facing toward the magnet conductive panels 1442. It isappreciated that a gap can be formed between the magnet conductivepanels 1442 and the coil core 142 as long as the coil core 142 ismagnetized to generate the current.

As shown in FIG. 1, three micro generators 14 are spacedly supported onthe supporting panel 13, wherein three switch panels 12 are pivotallycoupled at the supporting panel 13 corresponding to the three microgenerators 14 respectively. In particular, the three switch panels 12are orderly coupled at the supporting panel 13 side-by-side to operatethe three micro generators 14 respectively. In other words, theself-powered wireless switch 1 of the present invention provides aplurality of switch panels 12 in one switch unit, such that the switchpanels 12 can be selectively actuated to operate the corresponding microgenerators 14, so as to control different electronic devices. The numberof micro generators 14 can be selectively configured according to needof the electronic devices. Two or more micro generators 14 can beelectrically linked to one control panel 15 via different circuitsthereof. In other words, a number of diode rectifiers in the controlpanel 15 can be increased to form a power source partition of each microgenerator 14, such that each switch panel 12 is actuated to individuallyoperate the corresponding micro generator 14 so as to prevent theinterference between the micro generators 14.

As shown in FIG. 1, the self-powered wireless switch 1 further comprisesan outer frame 11 formed in a ring shape to couple at the peripheralportions of the supporting panel 12 and the switch panels 12. Therefore,the switch panels 12 can be securely coupled at the supporting panel 12to protect the micro generators 14 and the control panel 15. In order toinstall the self-powered wireless switch 1, the outer frame 11 and theswitch panel 12 can be detached from the supporting panel 12, such thatthe supporting panel 12 can be affixed on a wall surface via screws.Then, the outer frame 11 and the switch panel 12 can be mounted on thesupporting panel 12 to complete the wall installation of the presentinvention. Preferably, the supporting panel 12 and the switch panel 12are formed in rectangular shape, wherein the outer frame 11 is alsoformed in rectangular shape. It is appreciated that the supporting panel12 and the switch panel 12 can be formed in other shape, wherein theshape of the outer frame 11 is also formed correspondingly.

It is worth mentioning that the switch panel 12 is an example to serveas an actuator to move the magnet assembly 144 up and down. Otheractuators which can perform the same function can be used in the presentinvention. For example, the magnet assembly 144 can be directly movedmanually. Since the micro generator 14 is the fundamental unit to bemoved corresponding to the coil assembly, other actuators, including theswitch panel 12, can be modified to achieve the same result of themagnet assembly 144.

Accordingly, the supporting panel 13 of the self-powered wireless switch1 can be coupled on a wood surface, a glass surface, marble surface, ortile surface via an attaching means such as glue. As it is mentionedabove, the supporting panel 13 can be affixed on any surface via thescrews. Therefore, the installation of the present invention does notrequire any pre-formed groove on the wall to minimize the noise and toprevent any pollution during conventional installation process. Theoperation of the present invention is the same as the conventionalwire-type switch through the actuation of the switch panel, such thatthe present invention is considered as an environmental friendly productfor residual and commercial use.

Accordingly, the operational principle of the present invention is shownas follows:

The coil core 142 sleeved in the magnetic coil 147 provides twofunctions of magnetization and change of magnet flux. As shown in FIG.7, assuming that the lower magnet conductive panel 1442 has a S pole andthe upper magnet conductive panel 1442 has a N pole. Initially, the sideof the coil core 142 is magnetically attracted to the lower magnetconductive panel 1442. Once the coil core 142 is magnetized, the S polelength of the lower magnet conductive panel 1442 will be furtherextended to the coil core 142. In other words, the magnetic field willpenetrate through the magnetic coil 147 and the line of magnetic forcewill form as N-S, i.e. through the coil core 142 from point A to point B(enter from the left side of the coil core 142 and exit at the rightside of the coil core 142). As shown in FIG. 8, when the switch panel 12is pivotally actuated to drive the magnet assembly 144 to move downward,the relative displacement between the magnet assembly 144 and the coilcore 142 is changed. The coil core 142 is moved from the lower magnetconductive panel 1442 to the upper magnet conductive panel 1442, suchthat the side of the coil core 142 is magnetically attracted to theupper magnet conductive panel 1442. At the same time, the coil core 142is magnetized that the N pole length of the upper magnet conductivepanel 1442 will be further extended to the coil core 142. As a result,the magnetic field will penetrate through the magnetic coil 147 and theline of magnetic force will form as N-S, i.e. through the coil core 142from point B to point A (enter from the right side of the coil core 142and exit at the left side of the coil core 142).

As shown in FIG. 11, the line of magnetic force is changed between themagnet assembly and the coil core 222 during the movement of the magnetassembly. As a result, the line of magnet force 23 (the magneticinduction line) of the coil core 222 is changed oppositely. According tothe Faraday's Law of Induction, when the induced current is generated bythe magnetic coil, the voltage is generated correspondingly. It is worthmentioning that the alternating current generated by the coil will betransformed into a direct current through a rectifier, such that the DCcurrent will guide to flow to the control panel as the power sourcethereof. The control panel 15 comprises a diode rectifier and a wirelesssignal generator, wherein the wire from the micro generator, the dioderectifier and the wireless signal generator are electrically linkedtogether in order. In other words, the AC current generated by themagnetic coil 147 is guided to pass to the diode rectifier. Thepositive-negative poles of the current generated by the magnetic coil147 at one actuation of the switch panel 12 are opposite to that of thecurrent generated by the magnetic coil 147 at the previous actuation ofthe switch panel 12. The diode rectifier will rectify the current fromthe magnetic coil 147 to ensure the proper current to pass to thewireless signal generator. Therefore, the wireless signal generator ispowered up for generating the wireless control signal to control thedesired electronic device. As shown in FIG. 9, the wireless controlsignal can be a coded control signal, such that when the electronicdevice receives the wireless control signal, a relay switch of theelectronic device is activated to control the on-and-off of theelectronic device.

As shown in FIG. 1, the switch panel 12 can be pivotally moved at twoends thereof to move the magnetic assembly 144 up and down, so as totransform a mechanical energy into an electrical energy for supplyingelectrical power to the control panel. It forms the self-powered unit togenerate the wireless control signal. The self-powered control switch 1of the present invention is reliable comparing with the conventionalwire-type control switch. It is safe to use because there is no powerline electrically linked to the self-powered control switch 1 of thepresent invention. In addition, the self-powered control switch 1 of thepresent invention is a battery-less unit, such that no battery isrequired to be installed thereinto so as to minimize the operation costof the self-powered control switch 1 of the present invention and toreduce the environmental pollution. It is worth mentioning that noelectrical wiring is required for connecting the switch to theelectronic device, such that the material cost, such as wires and PVCwire sleeves, can be significantly reduced. The installation processwill also be simplified and shortened and the location of the controlswitch can be selectively adjusted. The user is able to switch on andoff the electronic device through the actuation of the switch panel 12as the actuation of the conventional switch.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, a self-powered control switch 2 accordingto a second embodiment illustrates an alternative mode of the firstembodiment of the present invention, wherein the structuralconfiguration of the self-powered control switch 2 is the same as thatof the first embodiment, except the following:

In the self-powered control switch 2, the magnetic assembly 21 isaffixed to the supporting panel 13, wherein the magnetic assembly 21 islocated at one side (right side) of the coil core 222 of the coilassembly 22. The magnet conductive panels 211 are overlapped coupled attwo sides of the permanent magnet 212 respectively, wherein the lengthof the permanent magnet 212 is shorter than the length of each of themagnet conductive panels 211, such that two extension portions of themagnet conductive panels 211 are extended out of the permanent magnet212 to define a magnetic cavity 213 between the extension portions. Oneside portion (right side portion) coil core 222 is disposed within themagnetic cavity 213. The coil core 222 has a mid core body 2221 wherethe wire coil 221 are wound therearound, a first core arm 2223 (leftcore arm), and a second core arm 2222 (right core arm), wherein thefirst and second core arms 2223, 2222 are oppositely and alignedlyextended from the mid core body 2221. The first core arm 2223 ispivotally coupled at the supporting panel 13. The second core arm 2222is extended within the magnetic cavity 213. The coil core 222 can bemoved at the first core arm 2223 to contact the second core arm 2222with the inner sides of the extension portions of the magnet conductivepanels 211 in an alternating manner. The first core arm 2223 and thesecond core arm 2222 are integrally extended from the mid core body 2221to form an integrated elongated body. It is appreciated that the midcore body 2221, the first core arm 2223, and the second core arm 2222can be three individual components and coupled with each other.

Accordingly, the wire coil 221 of the coil core 222 is driven to movewhen the first core arm 2223 of the coil core 222 is rotated about apivot point thereof. Therefore, when the second core arm 2222 of thecoil core 222 is moved upward to contact with the inner side of theextension portion of the upper magnet conductive panel 211 and is thenmoved downward to contact with the inner side of the extension portionof the lower magnet conductive panel 211. As shown in FIG. 11, the lineof magnet force 23 of the coil core 222 is changed, such that the coil222 will generate the induced current as mentioned above.

The coil assembly comprises a coil core 142A, such as an iron core, anda coil wire wound around the coil core 142A, and forms a magnetic coil147A, wherein the coil wire is electrically linked to the control panel15A.

A protrusion portion ofthe coil core 142A as the protrusion portion thereof is disposed withinthe magnetic cavity, wherein when the magnetic assembly 144A is movedup-and-down, the protrusion portion of the coil core 142A can be movedwithin the magnetic cavity to contact with inner sides of the extensionportions of the magnet conductive panels 1442A in an alternating manner,so as to magnetize with the magnet conductive panels 1442A.

The coil assembly further comprises a resilient element 141A having afirst portion affixed to the supporting panel 13A and a second portioncoupled to a second side of the coil core 142A, such that the coil core142 is supported by the resilient element 141A toward the magnetassembly 144A. Accordingly, the resilient element 141A having a U-shapeis supported in a suspending manner, wherein the resilient element 141Ahas two resilient arms extended from the mid-portion. Accordingly, themid-portion of the resilient element 141A is overlapped on and iscoupled at the coil core 142A via a rivet 24A, such that the core arm1421A of the coil core 142A is located between the resilient arms of theresilient element 141A when the resilient element 141A is overlapped onand is coupled at the coil core 142A. In particular, the length of thecore arm 1421A of the coil core 142A is longer than the length of eachof the resilient arms of the resilient element 141A. Accordingly, theprotrusion portion of the coil core 142A is suspendedly supported towardthe magnet assembly 144A. The resilient arms 1411A of the resilientelement 141A are affixed to two retention posts 145A protruded from thesupporting panel 13A.

The micro generator 14A further comprises an elastic element 18Asupported at the supporting panel 13A to bias against the magnetassembly 144A. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 16, the elastic element 18Acomprises a compression spring having a lower end affixed to thesupporting panel 13A and an upper end affixed to the outer supportiveframe 1441A. Preferably, two elastic elements 18A are spacedly coupledat two side portions of the outer supportive frame 1441A to move themagnet assembly 144A in a balancing manner.

As shown in FIG. 14, the switch panel 12A forms a cover suspendedlysupported on the supporting panel 13A to enclose the micro generator 14Atherebetween. Accordingly, the supporting panel 13A has a blockingperipheral edge 131A, wherein the switch panel 12A has an engagingperipheral edge 122A movably coupled at the blocking peripheral edge131A of the supporting panel 13A to prevent the switch panel 12A beingdetached from the supporting panel 13A.

When the switchpanel 12A is pressed at the left side thereof, as shown in FIG. 20A, themagnet assembly 144A is pushed down by the pusher arm 121A to compressthe elastic element 18A. When the switch panel 12A is pressed at theright side thereof, as shown in FIG. 20B, the magnet assembly 144A ispushed down by the pusher arm 121A to compress the elastic element 18A.Likewise, when the switch panel 12A is pressed at the middle thereof, asshown in FIG. 20C, the magnet assembly 144A is pushed down by the pusherarm 121A to compress the elastic element 18A.

As shown in FIG. 22, when the magnet assembly 144A is moved downwardly,a magnetic attracting force between the magnet assembly 144A and thecoil core 142A will generate to pull the coil core 142A downward so asto bend the resilient arms of the resilient element 141A downward forrestoring a resilient force thereof. When the magnet assembly 144A iskept moving downwardly, the resilient force of the resilient element141A will transform as a reaction force to the coil core 142A. When thereaction force of the resilient element 141A is greater than themagnetic attracting force, the resilient element 141A will rapidly bendupwardly to its original form to rapidly move the coil core 142A upward,so as to rapidly change the line of the magnetic force of the coil core142A. In other words, the magnetic coil 147A will generate a largeamount of the induced current. Likewise, when the magnet assembly 144Ais moved upwardly, the magnetic attracting force between the magnetassembly 144A and the coil core 142A will generate to pull the coil core142A upward so as to bend the resilient arms of the resilient element141A upward for restoring the resilient force thereof. When the magnetassembly 144A is kept moving upwardly, the resilient force of theresilient element 141A will transform as the reaction force to the coilcore 142A. When the reaction force of the resilient element 141A isgreater than the magnetic attracting force, the resilient element 141Awill rapidly bend downwardly to its original form to rapidly move thecoil core 142A downward, so as to rapidly change the line of themagnetic force of the coil core 142A. In other words, the magnetic coil147A will generate a large amount of the induced current. Accordingly,the magnetic induction line is changed oppositely as shown in FIG. 23during the movement of the magnetic assembly 144A.

As shown in FIG. 27, the structural configuration of the presentinvention is illustrated to incorporate with an electronic controlsystem, wherein the self-powered wireless switch of the presentinvention is arranged to collect the mechanical energy from the switchpanel 12A and to convert the mechanical energy into the electricalenergy by the micro generator 14A. Then, the electrical energy generatedby the micro generator 14A will transform into usage electrical energyvia a rectifier as the power supply for the control panel 15A. At thesame time, the control panel 15A will also receive a control commandfrom a control module 19A, such that the control panel 15A will send outthe wireless control signal in response to the control command to theelectronic control system. Accordingly, the electronic control systemcan be a smart home control system to operatively link to differentelectronic devices, such as illuminators, window curtain operating unit,an AC control unit, and an indication unit, via a central control.

In addition, when the electronic control system receives the wirelesscontrol signal from the self-powered wireless switch, the electroniccontrol system will decode the wireless control signal in response tothe control command, such that the wireless control signal is thentransferred to the central control to selectively operate one of theelectronic devices.

According to the preferred embodiment, in order to control differentelectronic devices via the self-powered wireless switch, the controlmodule 19A comprises a plurality of activators 191A embedded into theswitch panel 12A at the actuation areas 120A respectively. Therefore,when a pressing force is applied on one of the actuation areas 120A, thecorresponding activator 191A is actuated. Preferably, the activator 191Acomprises a conductor covered with a rubber cover. Accordingly, thecontrol module 19A further comprises a control circuit board 192A, suchas PCB, mounted under the switch panel 12A to electrically connect theactivators 191A with the control panel 15A, such that when one of theactivator 191A is actuated, the corresponding control command will sendto the control panel 15A. As shown in FIGS. 28 to 30, the switch panel12A comprises a base panel 125A where the activators 191A are spacedlysupported thereon, and a cover panel 126A spacedly supported on the basepanel 125A to enclose the activators 191A. It is worth mentioning that agap is formed between the base panel 125A and the cover panel 126A toenable the depression of the cover panel 126A to actuate the activator191A. Preferably, the gap is about 0.6 mm. Accordingly, the cover panel126A can be made of soft material such as flexible glass or plastic,wherein the actuation areas 120A are formed on the cover panel 126A. Thethickness of the cover panel 126A is about 0.5 mm. The cover panel 126Acan be slightly deformed when the pressing force is applied thereon.

FIGS. 31A to 31C illustrate the operation of the present invention,wherein when the user's finger presses on a desired actuation area 120Aof the cover panel 126A, as shown in FIG. 31A, the cover panel 126A isslightly bent to actuate the corresponding activator 191A. When theuser's finger keeps pressing on the cover panel 126A, the base panel125A is driven to move downward in order to move the magnet assembly144A downwardly, as shown in FIG. 31B. At the same time, the magneticattracting force between the magnet assembly 144A and the coil core 142Awill generate to pull the coil core 142A downward so as to bend theresilient arms of the resilient element 141A downward. Once the basepanel 125A is kept pressing until the downward movement of the basepanel 125 is blocked by the supporting panel 13A, as shown in FIG. 31C,the resilient force of the resilient element 141A will transform as thereaction force to the coil core 142A. When the reaction force of theresilient element 141A is greater than the magnetic attracting force,the resilient element 141A will rapidly bend upwardly to its originalform to rapidly move the coil core 142A upward, so as to rapidly changethe line of the magnetic force of the coil core 142A, as shown in FIG.31C. As a result, the magnetic coil 147A will generate a large amount ofthe induced current. The time for the reaction force of the resilientelement 141A bounding back is about 0.002 second. It is worth mentioningthat the induced current will regulated to the control panel 15A, suchthat the control module 19A is also powered by the regulated current.Since the corresponding activator 191A is kept pressing by the user'sfinger, the control module 19A will generate a corresponding controlcommand to the control panel 15A. Therefore, the control panel 15A willsend out the wireless control signal in response to the control commandto the electronic control system. Accordingly, the magnetic coil 147 hasabout 300-1500 turns of coil wire and the energy output is about 200-800uj.

According to the preferred embodiment, the control panel 15A comprises asignal generator 151A for generating the wireless control signal, anenergy storage 152A operatively linked to the micro generator 14A forstoring the electrical energy generated by the micro generator 14A and arectifier 153A operatively linked to the energy storage 152A forrectifying the electrical energy stored in the energy storage 152A tothe usable energy for the signal generator 151A.

FIG. 32 illustrates the voltage generated by the micro generator 14A.Since the voltage generated by the micro generator 14A is relativelyhigh within a short period of time, i.e. 0.002 seconds, the peak of thevoltage will be about 20V. Since the voltage workable range for thecontrol panel 15A is about 1.8V-5V, the high voltage generated by themicro generator 14A cannot be directed to the control panel 15A.Therefore, after the voltage generated by the micro generator 14A, thecontrol panel 15A will store the energy and regulate the voltage tocontrol the voltage amplitude being less than 2V with an operationaltime larger than 6 ms for normal operation.

As shown in FIG. 33, the energy storage 152A comprises a first capacitorC1 and a second capacitor C2, and the rectifier 153A is a 2 MHzrectifier being operated to repeatedly charge and discharge the energystorage 152A via an inductor L to prolong the operation time to 12 ms.Therefore, the voltage output at the second capacitor C2 is about 2V.

In order to receive the control command from the control module 19A, asshown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the control panel 15A further comprises acommand collecting terminal 154A operatively linked to the controlmodule 19A with the activators 191A, and a microcontroller unit (MCU)with a flash storage to operatively link to the command collectingterminal 154A. Accordingly, executable programs are installed into theflash storage.

The length of the core arm can be longer than the resilient arm1411A, such that the distal end 14211A thereof is adapted for beingdisposed within the magnetic cavity 1446A to contact the opposite polesof the magnet conductive panels 1442A respectively. It is worthmentioning that in this preferred embodiment, when the self-poweredswitch is on a non-operating state, the distal end 14211A of the corearm is disposed within the magnetic cavity 1446A and contacted with thelower magnet conductive panel 1442A.

In the steps of assembling the switch panel 12A, movably install thebase panel 125A of the switch panel 12A on the supporting panel 13A atthe blocking peripheral edge 131A thereof.

When the base panel 125A is movably assembledwith the supporting panel 13A, the base panel 125A and the supportingpanel 13A form a receiving cavity to receive the micro generator 14A,and the pusher arm 121A is biased against the magnet assembly 144A, suchthat the resilient member 18A is adapted for supporting the magnetassembly 144A and the base panel 125A. As such, the switch panel 12A ofthe base panel 125A is a suspended depressing panel, wherein when at thenon-working state, the switch panel 12A is suspendedly supported via theresilient member 18A and after the depressing operation of the user isfinished, the elasticity of resilient member 18A functions to restorethe switch panel 12A back to its initial non-working state.

In the following step of configuring command collecting structure, theswitch panel 12A further provides a cover panel 126A installed on thebase panel 125A, wherein the cover panel 126A, preferably, can be madeof flexible glass and embodied as actuation panel having a plurality ofeffective actuation area 120A, that is, the above actuation areas 120A.In particular, install the control circuit board 192A and thecorresponding activators 191A on the top of the base panel 125A, andthen close the cover panel 126A, such that the control module 19A withthe control circuit board 192A and the corresponding activator 191A islocated between the cover panel 126A and the base panel 125A. As shownin the FIGS. 28, and 29 and FIGS. 31A to 31C, in the preferredembodiment, three cover panel 126As formed by three flexible glass sheetand one six-pressing-key board formed by six sets of contact electrodes1921A provided by the control circuit board 192A is illustrated.

Preferably,the cover panel 126A can be affixed to the base panel 125A by adouble-sided adhesive or other adhesive material. When the controlcircuit panel and the activators 191A are located between the base panel125A and the cover panel 126A, the activators 191A are not contactedwith the electrodes of the control circuit board 192A. It is worthmentioning that the base panel 125A of one switch panel 12A cancorrespond to a plurality of the actuation areas 120A of the keys of thepressing panel, such that the base panel 125A can be actuated bypressing any one of the actuation areas 120A to further activate themicro generator 14A to perform power generating operation.

It is easily understood that the above assembly method serves only as anexample, which would not limit the scope of the present invention. Thedescription of the assembly method is for illustrating the structure ofthe wireless switch of the present invention in detail, and theaforementioned specific structure are only served as an example, whereinsome steps of the assembling method are not in arranged a specific orderof precedence.

Accordingly, the present invention further provides a method forcontrolling an electronic device via the self-powered switch, whereinthe self-powered switch comprises a micro generator 14A which comprisesa magnet assembly 144A and a coil assembly. The magnet assembly 144Acomprises a permanent magnet 1443A and a first and second magnetconductive panel located at the opposite magnetic poles at the two sidesthereof. The coil assembly comprises a coil core 142A, a magnetic coil147A wound around a core arm of the coil core 142A, and a resilientmember 18A coupled to the coil core 142A. The method comprising thefollowing steps.

(a) In responsive to the user's pressing action to the base panel 125Aof the switch panel 12A, the pusher arm 121A is actuated by the basepanel 125A to actuate the magnet assembly 144A to move, and at the sametime, the first magnet conductive panel of the magnet assembly 144Adrives the coil core 142A to move via the magnetic attraction force,such the coil core 142A is bent to store potential energy and generatean reversed rebounding force.

(b) Restore the coil core 142A to its original form to detach the coilcore 142A from the first magnetic conductive panel and to contact withthe second magnet conductive panel of the magnet assembly 144A, suchthat the magnetic induction line penetrating the coil core 142A isoppositely changed and an induced current is generated in the magneticcoil 147A correspondingly, when the rebounding force of the coil core142A is greater than the magnetic attraction force between the coil core142A and the first magnet conductive panel.

(c) Transmit a control signal by the wireless signal generator 151A ofthe control panel 15A powered by the induced current after being storedand regulated, to further control the pre-programmed operations of theelectronic device.

In the step (a) of actuating the magnet assembly 144A to move, themethod further comprises a step of depressing the resilient member 18Aby the magnet assembly 144A to deform the resilient member 18A, suchthat when the user finishes the depression action, the resilient member18A restores to drive the magnet assembly 144A and the switch panel 12Aback to its original non-operational state. In particular, when theresilient member 18A is embodied as a compression spring, the magnetassembly 144A depresses the resilient member 18A so as to compress theresilient member 18A for storing elastic potential energy and when theuser finishes the depression action, the resilient member 18A stretchesand restores for driving the magnet assembly 144A and the switch panel12A back to its original non-operational state. Therefore, the magnetassembly 144A and the switch panel 12A is equipped with a restoringfunction and the switch panel 12A is embodied as a suspending panel,wherein when at non-operational state, the resilient member 18A providesan elastic supporting function via the magnet assembly 144A, and when andepression actuation is finished, the resilient member 18A enables theswitch panel 12A back to its balanced suspending state via theelasticity thereof.

In particular, the step (a) further comprises a step of driving themagnet assembly 144A to move via the pusher arm 121A integrally extendedfrom the base panel 125A at a mid-portion 1412A on the bottom sidethereof, or driving the magnet assembly 144A to move by acting on thepusher arm 121A coupled with the magnet assembly 144A via the base panel125A.

The first and second magnet conductive panels 1442A have oppositemagnetic poles, i.e. the first magnet conductive panel has the N poleand the second magnet conductive panel has the S pole; or, the firstmagnet conductive panel has the S pole and the second magnet conductivepanel has the N pole.

In this preferred embodiment of the present invention, when atnon-operational state, the distal end 14211A of the core arm of the coilcore 142A is contacted with the lower first magnet conductive panel, andwhen the resilient elements restores from its deformed state, and themagnet assembly 144A is kept being depressed to move the second magneticpanel to a position adjacent to the first magnet conductive panel atnon-operational state, the distal end 14211A of the core arm of the coilcore 142A is contacted with the second magnet conductive panel of themagnet assembly 144A, such that the magnetic induction line penetratingthe coil core 142A is changed oppositely.

In addition, in the step (a), the user can depress the base panel 125Aof the switch panel 12A at any point of a top surface thereof. Forexample, the base panel 125A, in responsive to the depression actuationon the peripheral edge of the blocking protrusion 1311A located on oneside of the base panel 125A of the switch panel 12A, is moved in alever-like manner with respect to the blocking protrusion 1311A on theother side thereof as a pivot point, such that the depression action onthe peripheral edge can be effortless saving about 50% effort. The basepanel 125A, in responsive to the depression actuation on the base panel125A of the switch panel 12A at a mid-portion 1412A thereof, drives thepusher arm 121A to move, such that the hooking member 1221As on the twosides are actuated to move away from the blocking protrusion 1311A.

In this embodiment of the present invention, the above applicationmethod further comprises the step of collecting commands correspondingto the pressing keys. In particular, in the step (a), the cover panel126A actuates the activator 191A to move to contact with the controlcircuit board 192A for generating pressing commands at the correspondingtwo spaced electrodes thereof, so as to power the activator 191A bycontacting the conductor of the activator 191A with the electrodes togenerate pressing command, wherein the command is further transmitted tothe control panel 15A to control the pre-programmed operations of theelectronic devices.

Further, in responsive to the cover panel 126A of the switch panel 12Abeing kept depressing by the user, the base panel 125A is actuated tomove so as to activate the power generation operation of the microgenerator 14A. Preferably, the cover panel 126A of the switch panel 12Ais embodied as pressing panel and can be made of flexible glass for easyoperation.

In addition, the control signal generated by the wireless signalgenerator 151A of the control panel 15A can be directly sent to thecorresponding electric device, or can be sent to a smart central controlunit, wherein the CPU further control the pre-programmed operations ofthe electronic device such as the operations of switching on or off ofthe electronic device, or the selection of the levels.

Asshown in the example of FIG. 36, the hooking member 1221A of theengaging portion 122A is engaged with the blocking protrusion 1311A ofthe blocking portion so as to prevent the base panel 125A being detachedfrom the supporting panel 13A. Similarly, a pusher arm 121A is definedon a mid-portion 1412A of the base panel 125A body 1250A of the basepanel 125A for activating the micro generator 14A.

Therefore, when the base panel 125A of the switch panel 12A isdepressed, the base panel 125A is adapted to slide at the inner side ofthe blocking portion of the supporting panel 13A along the inner wallthereof.
